On top of her various work commitments both on and off the pitch, the 30-year-old spends her spare time at Blue Performance Gym.
As part of our final feature for Scottish Women & Girls in Sport week, she explains her reasoning behind exercising on top of her already packed schedule and how she encourages everyone to take up sport and its benefits.
She said: “I love to train and always have. Football is obviously quite a niche technicality you would say, so you always required to deal the certain movements and running.
“Not so much as a goalkeeper but the same kind of individual stuff.
“You do the gym a wee bit at training but it is probably not as in-depth as what you do when you come here.
“When you come here you don't know what you are turning up to. Sometimes you turn up and you realise you don't want to do that class but you do it anyway.
“The people make it feel amazing and push each other. People who are really good at certain things and people who are not so good.
“There might be stuff in the workout that is more your jam than the others but it is how you find the balance to still do the class.
“We have got a really good bunch here, the guy who owns the gym Alan is brilliant as well, he likes football so we always chat about it.
“CrossFit? It is really horrible most of the time. You think that you maybe get better at one thing then you realise there is about 20 other disciplines you need to try and get better at.
“It is really good for me personally for my job as well as what I do on the job. It keeps it quite combust in terms of the different attributes that it offers and the combination of everything in lifestyle as well. It is really good in terms of my job because we left really awkward objects and things.
“Carrying things in and out of buildings, equipment and people.
“Sometimes you put your body in quite awkward positions so CrossFit is really good at putting you in these awkward positions regularly when you are really tired and fatigued.
“For me it is has been a really good outlet to try and develop that ability to train out with the ordinary style of training to what you normally do. I have really enjoyed it; I have got best friends that train here.
Jennifer Muir, who is a professional CrossFit and Adidas athlete, spoke of why she went down the career path and where it has got her today.
She commented: “I first started to learn CrossFit and it was actually Megan that got me introduced to it.
“I came from a triathlon background and did a bit of powerlifting. She was like once lockdown had lifted you should try it.
“I kind of knew early on that I wanted to be competitive in it and now it is my job now I am here because I am full-time athlete but I first started to get to learn CrossFit and all the movements that come with it.
“I met Megan through the gym about six years ago now. We both worked as personal trainers and it was her who got me to join so once I started she started not long after. We are quite competitive that way.
“It is amazing to have a friend who understands so much what you do as well.
“Although she is not professional in this sport she is another so she gets it. It is also amazing to rope her into my workouts as well.
“She is fit enough and she can do them all with me so it is good to have that competitive push from her as well.”
The pair highlighted the importance of sport for their mental health and how it allows them to switch their focus in life.
Cunningham said: “The gym is very good at levelling out my emotions. It is quite nice just having that realise from a lot of stresses out with my job.
“It is full of lots of highs but does have some low lows as well and sometimes you come away from a shift and you feel deflated, maybe not got the outcome that you wanted and football it can be quite a hard environment.
“Especially when it gets to the tough time of the season when you have not had a few results that haven't actually went your way. It is nice coming away and coming to find something that is totally away from it.
“You can just come in here and get the music on nice and high, get a sweat on and just let everything go. It is brilliant to just let everything go and I go home and sleep great after it.
“You don't worry about anything else you just worry about how hard the workout was. You get an hour or two just to switch off from everything.”
Muir added: “When I was at a school sport as a career was never really an option that was presented to me and it was all I wanted to do at school. When I was going through my higher my mental health dipped a lot because I didn't really know where I belonged and what I should do with my life and how it was going to progress.
“It is massive for me and my mental health.
“The hardest thing is walking through the door. Once you come you realise how adaptive it is to everybody.
“My mum who has never done exercise her entire life she retired then decided to join the gym so she comes here and she is 60-years-old.
“It has totally adapted and changed to her ability and as soon as you walk through the door you just progress it for yourself.”
